“It’s a shame that I didn’t finish the round, I feel bad because I didn’t miss a shot in the last three holes and it was annoying to finish over par but it was a good day overall, I’m happy,” was the first reflection of Jon Rahm after signing a card of 70 strokes, for 143, 8 behind the leader Shane Lowryon the second day of the British open in Royal Throne.
